    • Quotes

      [Kevin and Julia are talking in front of a group of junior high school students]

      Female Student: Is there much interaction between the two campaings? I mean, between Democrats and Republicans?

      Kevin: [to Julia] Ah, I believe this is your area.

      Julia: Uh, it's discouraged for campaigns to interact. For instance, if one speechwriter were to date another, they might reveal something crucial about the campaign. Some campaigns have spies for just this purpose, whose job it is to follow the speechwriter, and to seduce her--

      Kevin: --Or him--

      Julia: --Into revealing her secrets.

      Kevin: On the other hand, some speechwriters have the tendency to become what is known as "paranoid," and just because someone seems interested in her doesn't mean they're after her "secrets."

      Julia: Still, it's not paranoid to become suspicious of a "chance" encounter which isn't really chance--

      Kevin: --Or someone lying about the work she does. A good speechwriter could protect herself from this situation by not flirting, you know, not sniffing around like a cat in heat.

      Julia: Or she might tell the other speechwriter to his face, "Peddle your shit elsewhere, scumbag."

    Speechless
    I gotta admit, when I first saw this film, I didn't like it. I had a chance to watch again (being a BIG Michael Keaton fan), and hey, it's really good. Geena Davis, another wonderful actor, and Keaton, play off one another so well. And it's fun to think back on "Beetlejuice". She and Keaton again. And to watch Christopher Reeves makes one realize how we've lost such a great actor and human being. Watch for the early car scene when they've returned to the hotel early in the morning. It's a hoot. I also loved Charles Martin Smith; he's just good in everything. Remember him? He was the goofy guy in "American Graffiti". Yes, this movie has some corny laughs, but the majority are very funny and Keaton/Davis really connect; they are very believable. Don't miss the scene where Keaton and Reeves are talking around the pool table; that's also a gem. Enjoy this one; it'll make you laugh when you need a laugh.
